11 TV Characters Who Won't Stop Annoying Us

at .

Once upon a time, there were foam bricks made and sold on TV so viewers could buy them and toss them angrily at their sets.

They were made for characters like these. The ones who make stupid decisions again and again, or say dumb things over and over. 

You find yourself rolling your eyes so often you start to hear your mom in your head, "if you keep doing that, they're going to stay that way!"

So these characters are up for the Perpetual Ocular Rotation Award.

1. Jo Wilson - Grey's Anatomy

Jo Wilson from Grey's Anatomy – We're not actually supposed to like this character, are we? She may have had a hard past, but her whining and her overall attitude make her incredibly unlikeable.

2. Barry Allen - The Flash

Ugh, Barry Allen. See, I've read the comics. I've watched the animated movie. I know Flashpoint is supposed to be a disaster. That said, this version of Barry Allen comes off as a real idiot. Barry CONSTANTLY does things that everyone warns him not to do. "This is a bad plan, Barry." "Don't change the past, Barry." But noooo, he's a hero, he can do anything! He has myopic knee-jerk reactions to everything, and then is somehow surprised by the awful consequences. He's lucky he has the most forgiving friends on earth; he deserved to be dragged a heck of a lot more.

3. Hakeem Lyon - Empire

Hakeem from Empire is the most ridiculous, immature character on television, and because he's constantly in the spotlight, we never forget it! Peak Hakeem: When he stormed into his mother's apartment with a pacifier in his mouth and a crying baby in his arms, a frazzled disaster unable to cope with being a father.

4. Kurt Weller - Blindspot

Kurt Weller from Blindspot, unfortunately. I love Weller like my homeboy, love Sullivan Stapleton like a good friend, but they had him make some really stupid decisions this year and to many fans, he came off like a jerk. Let's hope he redeems himself when Season 2 picks up in January.

5. Princess Margaret - The Crown

Princess Margaret on The Crown. I feel weird disliking this character so much since she's based on an actual person, but honestly, were we supposed to have sympathy for this spoiled royal brat? "I'm Daddy's favourite!" "How dare you put an entire empire and centuries-old-establishment before me and my boyfriend?" "I don't need to be diplomatic, I'm charming!" I just rolled my eyes every time she found something else to whine about. Margaret's the worst.

6. Wally West - The Flash

Wally West from The Flash wants sooooo bad to be a speedster, but once he gets his speed, he's more concerned with whether or not he's faster than Barry than anything else. In fact, he's bordering on being more obsessed than the many bad guys who have also been obsessed with being the fastest, which makes me wonder if he's going to be a bad guy in the end, despite his original comics roots. Rolling the eyes. Ouch.

7. Elizabeth Keen - The Blacklist

Elizabeth Keen. Meagan Boone is probably lovely, but Liz has been one of the weakest aspects of The Blacklist since the beginning. It actually was at its best when Lizzie was "dead." Her love/hate relationship with Red has gotten old. She's not the least bit interesting and it's hard to fathom so much interest surrounding such a dull character. Do I really care who her father is? No, not really. If she took another vacation I wouldn't miss her. She could take baby Agnes too.

8. Fitzgerald Grant - Scandal

Fitzgerald Grant. UGH. I’ve never had an ounce of respect for this character. He’s controlling, childish, entitled and sexist. He intentionally shoots down a plane of innocent people then kicks Mellie out of the house when she unknowingly gets 12 jurors killed trying to protect HIM. He cheats on Mellie then abhors her and Olivia when they sleep with other people they fall in love with. He pushes Liv away when he doesn’t want her and demands she come back or manipulates her to come back when he wants her. He treats his Chief of Staff (first Cyrus then Abby) like crap, acts like everyone should feel lucky just to be around him, and never puts the interests of the country before his own despite the fact that he is the freakin’ President of the United States. Fitz is just the worst.

9. Carl Grimes - The Walking Dead

Carl on The Walking Dead is supposed to be a bad ass, and I wish he was, but the more often I see him doing something, the more I'm rolling my eyes. Wandering off, trying to take on Negan by himself, his poor driving skills and his uninteresting romance with Enid are just a few of the highlights of painful Carl moments. I'm always holding out hope he'll become a more interesting character, but for now, I'd be OK if he took a back seat to the other characters on the show.

10. Cast - Zoo

Everyone and everything that happened on Zoo during Season 2! I fell out of love with this summer series when the action became less about the animals and more about a messy government plot that still doesn't totally make sense to me. The characters became whiny and over-the-top. I'm calling it: this show died when one of its main characters, Chloe, died.

11. Clary Fray - Shadowhunters

Clary Fray is easily the most irritating character on Shadowhunters. Which is especially unfortunate given the fact that she's the main character. We can't be granted an indefinite brief reprieve from the show's protagonist right? Sighs. Trouble follows Clary wherever she goes. She has no understanding of the Shadowhunter world and doesn't attempt to understand it. She's selifsh and self-consumed. She never listens. As far as friendship goes, she's an absolutely terrible friend. Just ask Simon. He technically died on her watch, because of her, not to mention that pesky issue of her being too self-involved to realize that he had been in love with her for years. She's bull-headed, a liability, and a wild card. No wonder Alec was so grumpy when she was around.
